Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo Resort & Spa

Just returned from a week at this hotel, can not say enough good things about it. From the fabulous food, to the lovely views, lovely big rooms, immaculately clean. Exceptional staff, so friendly and attentive, nothing is too much trouble. Especially Thanatos in the restaurant and Zac in the lunch restaurant. My husband hurt himself whilst he was there, a big thank you to Magda on reception, was there in minutes offering and assistance and first aid. Lovely lady, great sense of humour. Would definitely return.

This is a slightly delayed review from our stay at the end of June. We’ve visited this hotel several times over the years and have always appreciated its relaxed, easy going vibe - one of the main reasons we keep coming back. While the rooms are still in need of refurbishment (something we’ve mentioned before), ours was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed - especially a bath, which we love. From the moment we arrived, the reception team gave us a warm welcome, with Anna recognising us right away - a lovely touch that made us feel at home. However, we were genuinely surprised this year to see such a significant change in staffing. Nearly two-thirds of the team now appear to be international, and while the service remained excellent - a special mention to Mohammad in the restaurant for his constant smile and friendliness - we really missed the Greek warmth and character that has always been part of the hotel’s charm. When you holiday in Greece, part of the joy is connecting with the local people and culture, and that felt noticeably absent this time. That said, we were thrilled to see a few familiar faces who made a huge difference to our stay. Chief among them is Thanasis in the restaurant - he’s looked after us for years and continues to be, without question, the best waiter we’ve ever had. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail are second to none, and he truly elevates the dining experience. Alongside him, it was great to see Nikos and Vagellis, Penelopi at the main bar, and Leonardis and Odysseus down at the White Pearl. These individuals are a big part of why we’ve returned time and again - they bring heart and soul to the hotel. The food was excellent, with a good variety across the themed nights. We’ve seen comments about repetition, but honestly, if you explore the buffet fully, there’s plenty of choice - from whole sea bream and prawns to roast pork and chicken souvlaki. Our tip: take a good look around before filling your plate! All in all, we had a lovely holiday. We just hope Atlantica recognises the value of its Greek team - especially stars like Thanasis - and brings back more of the local spirit that made this place feel so special.

This was a wonderful hotel, probably the best we’ve been to. The site was well laid out with rooms on the side of the hill leading down to the beach and bay with most of the rooms having spectacular views of the bay. The food was first rate and was particularly good for us as vegetarians. Many activities were available led for the hotel staff. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Have to mention the head chef Yannis who led a cookery workshop and when he found we were vegetarian quickly thought of an alternative of stuffed tomatoes. It was delicious and I’ve since made it at home. The bar staff were great and Gregory starred in the cocktail workshop and in the bar every night. Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were excellent. We had a small problem with the bathroom sink and it was repaired rapidly after reporting it. So good that we’ve already booked for next year.

We had a week at this hotel in October. Having read some reviews before the trip we had some idea about what people were saying. They were completely right about the staff which is absolutely the most exceptional feature of this hotel. The staff are so hospitable and try their best to make you feel welcome and looked after. The only exception we experienced was the very unhelpful lady on the reception of the spa who made a huge fuss when we were trying to book a massage - she practically told us what treatment we could have and at what time! Her attitude was pretty poor. However, we didn’t let that ruin our lovely holiday as everyone else was exceptionally polite and helpful. The setting is beautiful with green hills and stunning views especially of the sunset. The guys driving the buggies up and down the steep hill are fantastic: smiling, waving, saying hello. They make you smile! Nick was great but I didn’t get all their names. Staff in the restaurant were similarly friendly and polite. The seating outside was great and when a little cooler they put the heaters on. Food was nice - very meat based but we enjoyed it especially the beef and pork dishes. Room lovely too. Only thing was the bed wasn’t firm enough and springs sounding. Balcony and sea views were outstanding. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful hotel.

A lovely relaxing experience at the spa. Lovely Giota was very nice and the whole massage was very relaxing feeling very relaxed and peaceful afterwards
